In 2017, the American Contact Dermatitis society named alkyl glucosides, a class of compounds including decyl, lauryl, cetearyl, and coco glucosides, the Allergen of the Year, with decyl glucoside named as "the most common one in the class of alkyl glucosides to cause allergic contact dermatitis."[1]
Synthesis
Decyl glucoside is produced by the reaction of glucose from corn starch with the fatty alcohol decanol, which is derived from coconut.
